Theo Lindsay has been competing for a year. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.74, set at Milford Winter Warm Up 2025, puts him in the top 11.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 168th in New Zealand. Across 7 competitions since October 2024, he has put 130 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 55% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.29 in October 2024 to 13.07, a 15% improvement. Theo has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
